Somerset all-rounder Roelof van der Merwe has extended his deal until the end of the 2023 season.

The 36-year-old Netherlands international is in his second spell with the club, having rejoined in 2016.

"I'm really pleased to have extended my time at Somerset. The club holds a very special place in my heart," Van der Merwe told the club website.

"We have a great group of guys here and I genuinely feel that we are on the verge of something exceptional."

Van der Merwe's previous Somerset contract had been due to expire at the end of the 2022 campaign.
